A craft passed down. A studio built on care.

KOTY African Hair Braiding began with a single belief — that braiding is more than a service. It’s a tradition, a quiet act of love, and a way to honor the beauty of natural hair.

For over a decade, we’ve served clients across the DMV from our home in Forestville, Maryland. From first-time braid clients to women who’ve worn protective styles their whole lives, we welcome every guest with warmth, patience, and skilled hands.

We use authentic West-African technique, gentle tension, and high-quality hair to create styles that protect your edges and last for weeks. No rushing. No shortcuts. Just braids done right.
